I like trees. They're just great, and for the most part I like to see them left alone. Sometimes though, you just have to face the fact that they're in the way or aren't contributing their fair share. I'm not sure what a tree's "fair share" would be, I just know that sometimes they're not providing it.
Anyhow, for those of you who looked at the store page and thought the game made by some alt left green-warrior type, I've made a compromise. The offensive beam and offensive field are now capable of evaporating trees, almost instantaneously. In most cases it's still more efficient to go around them, so the choice is yours.
Disclaimer: Very few actual trees were harmed in the making of Simian Rising. All Caps Industries opts paperless whenever possible and the office printer's natural state is unplugged. On the other hand, countless thousands of virtual trees have been evaporated in the course of development and testing. They grow back fast though--at least for now--and I feel that if someone wants to take out a tree, doing so to a virtual one is a viable alternative.
Disclaimer: Nobody to this point has accused All Caps LLC or any member thereof of being an "alt left green-warrior type."
Disclaimer: The "100%" mentioned in the headline is just a number meant to sound impressive. In reality this number is probably larger, but that all depends on how you measure it.
